Turned Brown By Brown Turner KNOXVILLE
KNOXVILLE Tenn Proma the was people crowding into stores across the country last days as if merchants gave things away. The President Roosevelt making another speech and stores toned in. Reports from Austria show the worst. Edward forgot to save up. Morey got married on. It looks like he must call a justice of the peace to do the job on credit. This might not please Wally but perhaps it will work until she finds someone with more cash. Back to the President he teases the Republicans about these over again.
